After listening to the podcast I was thinking about the lustful pictures with booth babes issue (alot, and I mean alot).

An even better event would have been take a lustful picture with Craig’s Mom at Comic Com competition. But I suppose that’s been done a million times already.

There…in the spirit of this podcast I have no insightful commentary.

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 15:39:42 +0000http://www.tweakandgeek.com/podcast/?p=247#comment-471Literally every 360 owner I know has been struck with RROD! Mine went this winter, and since hacking it voided the warranty, I tried to fix it myself. I was unsuccessful (screws 1mm too long = cracked chip), but you should try it. You basically mount the CPU heatsink directly to the mobo – toughest part is making the special tool to crack into the case! If that sounds too daunting, then I’ll gladly help you get rid of your trash … just ship it my way 😉

I ended up getting a cheap Arcade edition ($150) and popping in the hard drive from the original system. It was worth the $ just to have a system that doesn’t sound a like a vacuum cleaner when you turn it on!

Stupid 360 went tits-up a couple months AFTER going out of warranty for RROD.

That whole future thing where the guy with the Ferrari throws in the BS about the hysenberg uncertainty principal doesn’t work at all. Neither does the history approach either. Sounded good at the time. I must of been dazzled by his mad skillz on the guitar. He guitar rocked it all too me.

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 00:00:43 +0000http://www.tweakandgeek.com/podcast/?p=247#comment-452I think the 90 yr old woman who spent 3 days trapped in a bath tub slerping her bodily fluids out of a rubber duck might have some interesting insights into the concept of subjective time.

Okay. So if you can’t change the past, then logically you can’t change the future. All points in the future eventually happen, making them past events that can’t be changed, and if they can’t be changed they had to happen a particular way. Ergo there’s no free will, and everything is destiny or the hand of God.

If you accept that the future is not set and you can’t know what’s going to happen, or you accept the implications of the Hysenberg uncertainty principle, then there’s no way you can know what happened in the first place with any certainty, and there is no set past and anything could have gotten you to where you are now, regardless of your perspective of how it happened…Which could change in every moment you consider to be now only you wouldn’t know it because it would be happening to you.

Anyway if the future is not fixed then the past can’t be fixed.

Either way, none of it is particularly comforting.

As far as materialization and dematerialization goes, (if you were traveling back in time,) for the pilot it would be like traveling through space but to the observer in the past, the time machine would appear to materialize out of nothing at the moment of arrival. Or to dematerialize as the machine went back to the future and left the light cone of the past observer behind. So that’s just perspective. Materialization and dematerialization is just looks way cooler anyway.

I don’t particularly prescribe to any of the theories above. They were told to me by a flabby middle aged man with a rockin’ guitar and a red ferrari with gold plated rims.

P.S. In Austin Powers 2 they made a time machine and stole Austin’s Mojo in the 60s!

As for the “explicit” version, I think you’re on to something there, Shades. Pat and Craig, sounds like you have a legitimate business model on your hands: Listen to the radio edit for free, but hear the real deal for only [insert (un)reasonable price here] an episode!

You and Laurie did a very good job together! It is difficult to keep a monologue going for such a long time; it isn’t something we engage in during the regular course of the day! Bravo and cudos to you both.

Well, NOOOOOOo…I had NO idea what you were talking about on most of it…blush! We don’t watch t.v., so an entire topic was LOST on me…baw haw haw haw haaaaaaw! I was able to concentrate on the balance of your voice exchanges, and response delivery speed. You were great!

Understood the Blackberry Pearl part…your cousin Thibideaux has one. Since the only function I care about is the one that goes, “ring…ring…Hello?”, I continued to evaluate your exchanges, and rated you well on flow and execution.

Understood the methane production of cows PERFECTLY! You saved the best for last! Scientists estimate that if we could reduce the amount of gas (that) cows produce around the world, it would make a larger impact on reducing damage to the ozone layer than eliminating cars completely! Amazing! If we can discover a way to harness it, we could stop all dependency on other resources! That means that Saudi income would go down the toilet… sob sob… and they would be able to afford only 12 wives, instead of 50…and drive ONE designer Hummer instead of a fleet.

I will cry all night!

This was supposed to be about YOU, wasn’t it? My error…hee hee!

Keep up the good work! Proud of you! My best to Laurie…high five, talk-show lady!

Tootles to all…lots of love! Elizabeth

In regards to my Thunderbird problem, I opted not to go with an external editor; too clunky.

And speaking of true bacon stories – in college we paid a guy $5.00 to eat a paper towel that had a pound of bacon microwaved on it (same paper towel, three rounds of bacon cooking). He tried chewing, but it was easier to just let the strips slide down … yum!

I used my own anti-pattern this week. I waited a few days before listening and then commenting on the podcast.

Hurry up and get the listener driven show done.
